Brenda Lee discussed how the movie Home Alone catapulted this song to fame, despite it being recorded in 1958 when she was nine years old. She was surprised by its later popularity.
Brenda Lee it is so nice to have you in here I see you driving around town sometimes and I'm and I always kind of geek out I'm like there's Brenda Lee.
So correct me if I'm wrong here but the song that every Christmas is played all the time over and over again you sing that when you were six years old is that right?
I do I remember the players that played on it I'll never forget I was sitting at home in the phone ring and I answered it and it was one of my friends and she said Brenda did you know that your song is all over the movie Home Alone.
It says here that it was recorded in 1958 I guess I just assumed that it had always been a massive Christmas hit because in our life it mostly has been because Home Alone came out when we were young early 90s yeah and and it was played but it wasn't like nobody went crazy over it you know but it's a good song it was written by Johnny Marx.
Yeah it was and that was really the catalyst that pushed it to where it went.
